ArtsEmerson is a non-profit, professional theater and film presenting and producing organization in Boston, Massachusetts. Conceived by Emerson College President Jackie Liebergott and founded in 2010 by theatrical producer Robert Orchard, ArtsEmerson is housed as part of the Office for the Arts at Emerson College's Boston campus. The organization focuses on contemporary world theater and presents or produces theatrical performances, films, and public dialogues across several Emerson College venues and in locations across Greater Boston.

History

Announced as "ArtsEmerson: The World on Stage,” the organization’s inaugural season in 2010–11 featured 17 theater productions, 92 films, and four concerts.

Leadership

Robert Orchard founded ArtsEmerson and was its first executive director. In 2012, David Dower joined the organization as Director of Artistic Programs. P. Carl joined ArtsEmerson as Creative Director in 2013, having joined the Office of the Arts as Director of HowlRound. In 2015, Robert Orchard shifted to the role of Founder and Creative Consultant and David C. Howse joined as executive director. Also in 2015, David Dower, P. Carl, and David Howse began a "three-legged" leadership period, sharing leadership as two co-Artistic Directors (Dower and Carl) and an executive director (Howse). This partnership which continued until P. Carl's departure in 2017. David Dower departed in 2021. A Black and Indigenous-led organization, ArtsEmerson is currently under the co-leadership of David Howse and Director of Artistic Programming Ronee Penoi (Laguna Pueblo/Cherokee). Penoi joined ArtsEmerson in 2021.

Recognition

ArtsEmerson was named "Boston's Best Theater" by Boston magazine in 2013 and again in 2015. In 2019, WBUR recognized ArtsEmerson as a "A Model For Equity In The Arts", stating, "From its inception, ArtsEmerson has instituted programs at the intersection of civic dialogue and artistic exploration that have expanded its audience and engaged communities that arts organizations have historically ignored."

Community Engagement

In 2013, ArtsEmerson expanded its focus to include a variety of community engagement activities., including the Play Reading Book Club, Welcome to Boston Cast Parties, Public Dialogues, and Community Curators activities.

Play Reading Book Club

The Play Reading Book Club (PRBC) takes place in locations throughout Greater Boston (Roxbury, Dorchester, Hyde Park, Brookline, and others). Participants read and discuss selected plays from each ArtsEmerson season, facilitated by a teaching artist, over a four-week period. PRBC participants attend the play they have studied, attend a reception and private question and answer session with a creative member of the production, and receive tools and resources to help navigate the experience of attending a theater performance.

Welcome to Boston Cast Parties

Touring artists visiting ArtsEmerson are welcomed to Boston with performances by local poets, vocalists, dancers, and actors. Visiting artists also share a preview of their own work. Inspired by the work of Elma Lewis, the arts leader, Roxbury, Massachusetts native, and Emerson College alumna, these free cast parties are co-hosted by community organizations around Boston, Massachusetts.

Public Dialogues

ArtsEmerson regularly hosts free public discussions aimed at connecting artists, neighborhood partners, and audiences. After selected performances, audience members, artists, and members of the ArtsEmerson staff hold discussions related to performance content. These events range from informal lobby chats to artist interviews, guest moderated talkbacks, and panel discussions.

Community Curators

The Community Curators program is a platform for Boston artists and organizers to produce events in ArtsEmerson's downtown spaces ranging from live music benefits to film screenings, moderated discussions, and fashion shows. Two consistent Community Curators programs are the film-based initiatives Shared Stories and Projecting Connections.

Shared Stories is a monthly film series presented by ArtsEmerson in collaboration with the Boston Asian American Film Festival (BAAFF), CineFest Latino Boston, and the Roxbury Film Festival. ArtsEmerson also presents Projecting Connections: Chinese American Experiences, a film series highlighting the lives of the Chinese in the Greater Boston Area.
